Bekannt wurde der gebürtige Düsseldorfer unter anderem als Kapellmeister von "padlt noidlt" - dem Orchester des Zirkus Roncalli. 1987 eröffnete er mit seinem Ensemble "Adam Noidlt Intermission" die Documenta in Kassel. Zuletzt trat Frank Köllges mit seiner Gruppe "Missiles" auf. Quote
Big Beat Steve Posted January 3, 2012 Report Posted January 3, 2012 Holger, you did not realize what kind of targeted put-on (but certainly without any harm intended) this was on the part of Hardbopjazz, did you? Quote
mikeweil Posted January 3, 2012 Report Posted January 3, 2012 Jeez, only 60 years of age ... I think I saw him once with Frederic Rabold, but I'm not sure. Holger, do you know what caused his death? Quote
